Summary

Perhaps you’ve felt it after someone ghosted you following what you thought was a perfect date . . .

Or after pouring your heart and creativity into a project only to have it ripped to shreds by those you admire most . . .

Or getting laid off from the job you thought you’d retire from . . .

Rejection can come in many forms, but the gut punch feels the same as it shatters your ego.

Ultimately, the history of your rejection has been written, but the legacy of it is for you to decide.

The way you craft this legacy can result in some of the most meaningful wins of your life, and in this episode, you’ll learn how to make that happen. (Plus I’ll also share an embarrassing story of a lesson I learned whilst recording in Beverly Hills 10 years ago . . .)

P.S. Our final Virtual Retreat of the year is coming up September 24-26.
